Lamar is so certain of bigger
boom than ever this fall that our
people have become little careless
and are allowing the towns both
east and west of us TO do ten times
the amount of advertising we are
dong. In fact, outside of our local
papers no advertising is being done,
while other towns have agents to
meet every passenger train going
through who distribute their local
papers, circulars and handbiils set
ting forth the advantages of their
locality. Lamar so far is the best
known of any of the new towns in
eastern Colorado, but in order to
keep in the lead it will be necessary
to advertise and advertise big.

into the different criminal courts OF the
metropolis, and while there still exist
great anomalies and many serious i'm
projections, there can be no doubt that
the machinery is much improved since
those days. Among the changes is that
in cases of felony, involving as they
did then in many-I might say, most
of them-the penalty Of death. coun-
sci were not permitted 10 address
the jury, and theory was in
many quarters triumphantly enun-
ciated that the judge was the prison
er's counsel. Such fact, however, was
scarcely discoverable by an unscienti6c
observer, and the demeanor OF some
Judges certainly produced different
impression. Baron Quincy, whom /
remember well, exhibited great harsh
ness OF manner and considerable impa-
tiencc, but this probably arose from his
own rapidity OF perception, and GER
tainly not from any innate cruelty OF
mind. He extended mnch kindly hos

There is suburban church, situated
not far from very attractive and fash.
ionably patronized slum, which makes
a practice each Easter Sunday, after
the Sunnay-school service, OF distri-
buting the greater part of the flowers
that have served in the decoration OF
the church among the poor children OF
the school. This distribution is almost
as popular with the street children as
is the Christmas distribution of gifts
and confectionery.
Yesterday afternoon, after the mass
Of the children had been given few
flowers, the Sunday-school superin-
tendent saw two hoodlumish small boys
whom he did not recognize standing
near by very wistfully, caps in hand.
"Well, boys" said he, cheerily,
"what do you want 2"

Considerable amusement was caused
by the frantic endeayors OF the girls 10
navigate large barge along the streets.
When last seen they were hopelessiy
stranded on an ice-reef, and hall q
dozen of the gallant Griffintown Condo
liers were hurrying TO their assistance.
At The corner Of Ottawa and Murray
n dam had been formed by the stranded
icebergs, pieces OF sidewalks, and other
yreckages with which the streets were
Uttered. Over this the water rushed
like millrace, and rowboat which
yentured too near was drawn into the
vortex and swamped. It's occupants
crawled out half drowned. All over
this district factories and stores were
closed mp and houses flooded. Manyof
them seemed to be in danger OF falling.
so far there have been no serious acct
dents. but a number OF horses have
been drowned. The Horse Exchange,
which is situated on high ground, has
escaped, but cars are kept in readiness
TO remove the horses.
The water is still rising rapidly, and
the whole Of the business districts Is
completely submerged. The fires IN
the gas-works have been extinguished,
and the city is getting its supply from
Hochelaga If the water rises another
foot the fires in the electric-lighting
stations will have to be put out and
the principal streets left in darkness.
There is now seven feet of water IN
Chaboillez Square and two feet in Vic
toria Square. Point st. Charles is
completely under water, and the country
west of the city resembles one vast lake.
Four of the fire stations are Hooded
out and the firemen have been pro-
yided with barges big enough to carry
LEGO feet of hose each. To connect
with the hydrants they will have to
dive under water. The aspect OF affairs
is most serious, as the ice is still solid
for miles down the river, and the blast
ing operations seem to have done no
good whatever in weakening the ice.
Reports from points lower down the
river are equally alarming. The cor
poration have given ont contracts for
the supply of coal and provisions to
the people in the flooded district.
